EDITORS COMMENTS

The image, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, is part of a private collection. The "Premier" loop wheel frame was at the heart of the hosiery trade during its heyday. This particular print was featured in Arthur J Pickering's book titled "The Cradle and Home of the Hosiery Trade" published by W Pickering & Sons in 1940. It depicts a significant piece of history from early twentieth-century Leicestershire. Intricate details are brought to life through lithography, showcasing the craftsmanship that went into creating this remarkable machine. The print highlights not only the technical aspects but also captures the essence of an era when stockings, underwear, lingerie, and other hosiery items were meticulously produced. The image takes us back to a time when summer clothes were carefully made using these innovative frames. Lent by Mr J Chamberlain for illustration purposes, this lithograph preserves a slice of history for future generations to appreciate. As we delve into this historic artwork from Great Britain's past, it reminds us of how clothing has evolved over time while honoring the legacy left behind by companies like Stibbe and Co.
